I am an illustrator and comic artist based in San Francisco, California, as well as a real life cartoon bird on the Internet. I also as of 2025 have a certification in Radiologic Technology, which I’ve written about in my comics here.
During my last year studying art at UCLA in 2018, I became interested in Biblical criticism, Christian history, and the way symbolism and storytelling shapes one’s relationship to religion, culture, and the divine. My art is explores these themes through stories and ornamental imagery inspired by historical art and modern cartooning.
Most of my work is self-published as zines. Commercially, I have illustrated coloring pages, a coloring book, and various tattoo designs and gift commissions for individual clients.
I work primarily digitally, using Clip Studio Paint on the iPad; for traditional art I use Pentel brush pen on Bristol.
